If a 400 Sportsman was in low range it would break wheel traction well before wheel turning pull power. My 350 Big Bear in low range would snap a axle before it lost wheel turning power.
If I ties my 500 to a house it would just dig itself 4 wheel ruts and bury into the ground before the tires would ever stop turning.
That's why the mid bore and Big Bores have the same tow capacities of 1200lbs. They rate tow capacity while the ATV is in low range.
A 400 in low will out pull a 800 in high range, since any CVT ATV can smoke a belt in High range but its next to impossible while in low.
I would hope a guy trailering a load railway ties up a incline would be in low range.

Whether the other ATV lost power or traction really wasn't the point. The point was that the 850 is a very powerful machine. It took it's own weight, a loaded trailer, and pushed another ATV up a hill. I'm sure you could contact Doug over at ATVTV.com and get all the facts.

Thanks for all the help guys! I ended up choosing the King Quad! I would have loved to have one of each lol, but I had to make a decision.

I tie to a SP800 with my SP500 in a tug of war. Result was both just dug and sank in their own tire ruts without gaining a inch. They both do not run out of wheel power and both have equal ground contact.
Same result when I tried it with a Honda 350 Rancher.
Give it a try one day. Nuff said.
